Clean Sweep set for May 12

The Environmental Resource Center's annual Clean Sweep event—in which volunteers gather to remove litter from public areas in Wood River Valley towns—is scheduled for Saturday, May 12.

Volunteers should meet at 9 a.m. in Memorial Park in Bellevue, Hop Porter Park in Hailey or Atkinson Park in Ketchum to sign up and collect supplies. The ERC will provide disposable gloves, garbage bags and maps with the trash drop-off points marked for each town, plus a commemorative water bottle, light breakfast items and tickets for lunch, supplied by The Roosevelt in Ketchum and KB's in Hailey.

The ERC will also organize raffle drawings and prizes for teams of four to six people. For any teams larger than six, contact the ERC at 726-4333 or email lhorton@ercsv.org so lunch can be planned in advance.

'Gluten got you down?'

Gluten is a protein in wheat and certain other grains and can cause gastroenterologic symptoms as well as other body system malfunctions in some people.

Family medicine Dr. Leigh Morse will discuss the causes and symptoms of the more common gluten intolerances and current findings on treatment and potential lifestyle changes.

All Brown Bag lectures are free and no pre-registration is required. For additional information on this and other education programs, call St. Luke's Center for Community Health at 727-8733.

The permit would not create an exclusive right of use of the trails and roads.
